that's it for "starting point". newsroom can carol costello begins right now. happening now, a cnn exclusive. the brothers of ariel castro speaking out. >> did you in any way know, help, assist your brother? >> absolutely not. >> no. >> onil and pedro castro and the red flags and warnings. and we're behavior. >> i didn't go to his house very much. but when i did, he would let me in not past the kitchen. also, breaking overnight, a huge fire multiple fatalities, now investigators on the scene trying to find out how it

happened. plus -- >> protect the constitution. >> tea party targeted. >> i don't care if you're a conservative, liberal, democrat or republican, this should send a chill up your spine. >> a report about to be made public, agents singling out groupses with tea party or patriot in their name. this is what they have said all along. >> there is absolutely no targeting. >> this morning the agency is apologizing. and a community devastating. walls of ice almost 30 feet high swallowing homes. residents devastated in disbelief. how could this have happened? you're live in the cnn newsroom. good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for being with me. we begin in cleveland. anger, betrayal, maybe even hatred. the brothers of ariel comes tas want him to rot their jail.

they break their silence. we'll show you cell phone video of police rushing into the home and whisking two of the women to freedom. and monument to the women's triumph, cleveland workers board up the so-called house of horrors and neighbors want it reraced from their scarred community. burn it, bull doze it, even blow it up. they just want that house gone. but first up, police have publicly cleared them, but pedro and onil castro know they may be doomed to a lifetime of pers and suspicion. ariel castro is accused of raping and imprisoning three women for years and his brothers say they share the public's he revulsion toward him. they sat down for an exclusive interview with martin savidge. and marty, i know the brothers told you they're living in hiding now along with their mother. are they worried about their safety? >> reporter: they are. but the main reason that they wanted to have this interview,

the main reason they want to speak out is that they want people to know how grateful, how relieved they are that the three young women are finally free from the house of horrors that was owned by their brother. but i have to tell you, it was probably one of the most remarkable interviews i have ever been a part of and it began like this. >> you all went to your mom's for dinner. >> yeah, we went to mom's for dinner. >> the first sign of trouble for you when you were riding back in the car with ariel, the first indication of a problem was what? >> when he pulled in mcdonald's. not very far from mom's house, he pulled in mcdonald's and i'm wondering why are you pulling in here, we just ate. you have to go to the bathroom or anything? no, he says they pulled me over, they're behind me. i didn't know because it was wrig bright and sunny.

>> the police were behind you. >> yes, sir. he says the cops are back there. i said what did you do, run a stop sign or red light or something? he says, no, i don't know. and by that time, the officer was on his side asking for his i.d.. and they took his i.d. and there was an officer next to me there and he hadn't asked me for my i.d. yet, but i figure he's there, so i go like this and go you want my i.d., too. and he went for his weapon. and i gave him my i.d. and i said what's going organization i haven't done anything, sir, what's going on here. he says all i can tell you is that you're in for some serious allegations. >> what is the first sign of trouble for you that day? >> i was sleeping, and i don't remember the police in my room.

and i was thinking because i had open container warrant. so i didn't know what -- i thought they was taking me in custody for that. >> let me walk you through a bit of this so that everyone clearly understands. when you were arrested on monday and brought in, were you told why you were under arrest? >> absolutely not. >> no. >> you had no idea. >> no. not for 48 -- maybe 36 to 48 hours later. >> pedro, when did you become aware? >> well, there was an inmate that didn't speak english, so i translated for her. so then i asked her now that i help you, can you help me. >> this is to the officer. >> yes. and she said sure. what you want to know. i want to know what am i being

charged for. so she said okay, i'll go see. so she comes back and she's got a piece of paper written down whatever i was in for. and because i didn't have my reading glasses, i looked and i said, oh, open container. she said, no, read it again. and i said kidnapping? what's this kidnapping? >> could you talk? were the two of you able to talk to one another while in jail? >> no. >> couldn't communicate. >> no. >> in separate cells. >> theyed to ed ttold us not t didn't. >> where was ariel? >> air weriel was more towards front in suicide watch. >> he was in the cell that they call bull pen. how do i know this, i seen where they took me to get my medication. >> did i ever go past you, did you ever see him?

>> i did. because where he was at, there was no toilet. so across from my cell, there was one open. so he came there and used. and that's when i seen him. and when he came out, he said peace to me. >> so evidently that happened with him and ariel. when he walked past me, he goes onil, you're never going to see my again. i love you, uf u rkove you, bro. >> when did you become aware of what he did? >> just shortly after that the detective started showing me pictures of the girls. and he asked me do you know these girls. showed me first -- i can't tell you which one he showed me first. but he said have you ever seen this girl. and i said no, i've never seen that girl. and then he showed me the other one, have you ever seen this

girl. i said, no, i have never seen that girl. and he says that's gina dejesus. and amanda berry. and my heart fell. i dropped not physically, but just hit the ground. and after he said that's amanda berry and they were in your brother's house. >> you knew who these girls were. >> from the picture, i couldn't recognize them. i told him they don't look like the girls that have been postered up. and he said, yeah that's how malnourished they are. >> suddenly the police officer is showing you these photos and said that they are in your brother's home and you were expressing how you felt. it was just a physical feeling? >> heart dropping. just terrible when they said that. when he said that it's amanda berry and gina dejesus and they were in your brother and he house. i couldn't believe it. because there was no signs of

anything like that. i seen nosigns. >> you had been to the house. you would go to the house. >> yes. >> how often? >> not how often. i didn't go to his house very much. but when i did, he would let me in not past the kitchen. i would sit down and the reason why we go in the kitchen, because he had alcohol. he would take me in the kitchen, give me a shot. >> but when you'd go in the house, you'd be specific then to stay in the kitchen or it just seemed that you stayed in the kitchen? >> i wasn't allowed past the kitchen. >> could you see anything yochbd the kitchen? >> no. because there was curtains. >> he had the house blocked off with curtains. did he say why?

>> he told me that i think it was wintertime and he said he wanted to keep the heat in the kitchen because the gas bill. >> and what about could you hear anything in the home? >> no t, the radio was plaguing a playing all the time. if not the radio, the tv pl something had to be on at all times in the kitchen.all the ti. if not the radio, the tv pl something had to be on at all times in the kitchen.the time. if not the radio, the tv pl something had to be on at all times in the kitchen. so i could hear nothing else but the radio or the tv. >> didn't any of that strike you as unusual or strange? >> no, because ariel was to me he was a strange dude. i mean, it didn't phase me nothing. and another thing, i seen ariel

with amoun little girl at mcdonald's, and i asked him who is that, and he said this is a girlfriend of mine. >> the daughter belonged to a girlfriend of his. >> yeah. and i sa and i said where is she at. she's at mitch people taking care of something at mitchell. so i left. because they're having breakfast. and then about three weeks later, i seen his truck at burger king and then again he's with this little girl. and then i questioned him where's the mother. oh, she had to do something. so i just let it go. >> you believed him. >> i believed it. but i had no idea that that

little girl was his or amanda's. >> reporter: and that little girl is the one when amanda berry literally kicked and clawed her way out of that house a week ago today, she wrought with her that little 6-year-old. just as sounding ttounding the with her that little 6-year-old. just astounding the revelations. >> we also interviewed ariel castro's daughter. she said when she visited the home, she wanted to see her old bedroom and the father said don't go upstairs. she says she was never allowed in the way. it was locked. i think one time as a child, but the rest of the time that basement was locked. pedro said he would go into ariel castro's home and wasn't allowed out of the kitchen and there were curtains covering the doorways and music always playing. just mind boggling that the family didn't talk about these

strange things in ariel castro's home and think that anything was awry. >> reporter: that's clearly the first thing that comes to mind. we all see of course the red flags, these warnings, these indications. but we also know in perfect hindsight what was going on and the horror that was allegedly happening inside that house. this family is only glimpsing something now and then from a brother they always knew was slightly unusual. tragically they never put that puzzle together. and we'll find out what they think of their brother, we find out also what they will say to the families of the young women in the next portion of the interview. >> you'll be back at the bottom of the hour to continue your interview with pedro and o'nean cast castro. breaking overnight, a tragedy in pennsylvania. six have died after a house goes

up in flames. four children among the victims. firefighters got there, flames shooting out of the second floor window. no word on what caused the fire. other stories we're following, police in new orleans are lee leasing new photographs they hope will help catch those responsible for a shooting on a crowded street corner on mother's day in a parade in the seventh ward. 19 shot, 10 women, 7 women, 2 children, their injuries range from minor to severe and new orleans mayor wants help in finding the shooters. >> we have mothers that were shot, sisters that were shot, we have little children that were shot. these kinds of incidents are not going to go unanswered. we'll be very aggressive. there were hundreds of people out there today, so somebody knows who did this. >> police officers were taking part in that parade. they were quickly on the scene when the shooting began. in canada, it's being called a tsunami of ice. this is so strange.

giant walls of ice some reaching 30 feet high slammed about two dozen homes ripping off roofs and forcing people to run for their lives. >> i saw the ice just coming, just moving so quickly. the ice came right through the living room here. he said grab your purse, grab whatever you can, get the keys. we got to get out of here. >> apparently the waves of ice built up along a nearby lake and powerful wind gusts pushed them into the lakefront homes. a local state of emergency has been declared. no reports of any injuries. to washington now where the irs is admitting that, quote, mistakes were made as new details emerge about the agency's targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny. now those groups and some republican members of congress want to know how and why this happened.

dan lothian has more for you. >> reporter: tea party and other conserve tative groups were unfairly targeted for special scrutiny by the irs. and some agency officials knew as early as june 2011 according to an irs audit that sources tell cnn is expected to be released this week. >> this is truly outrageous and it contributes to the profound distrust that the american people have in government. >> i don't care if you're a conservative, liberal, democrat or republican, this should send a chill up your spine. >> reporter: the audit will show irs agents singled out groups some with tea party or patriot in their names that had applied for tax exempt status. despite protests by these groups, the irs had previously denied any unfair tar got getting. >> there is absolutely no far getting. this is the kind of back and forth that happens when people

apply. railroad the. >> reporter: the irs now says the senior leadership was not aware. but with the results of the audit about to become public, the agency says officials were just trying to deal with the large influx of new tax exempt requests. quote, mistakes were made initially, but they were in no way due to any political or partisan reactiationale. jay carney says the president expects swift steps. >> we certainly find the actions taken as reported to be inappropriate. and we would fully expect the investigation to be thorough and for corrections to be made. >> dan lothian joins us from washington. so when the president talks

about swift steps, what is he talking about? >> reporter: he's saying let's wait and see what the investigation brings forward. the president has not spoken about this. jay carney did address the issue on friday. although the president today will be meeting with the british prime minister having a bilateral meeting and then taking questions in the rose garden. so we expect that this is one of the questions that will be asked. and then we'll see what the president specifically meant. >> in the next hour, we'll talk with the founder of the cincinnati tea party. he says he was personally targeted by the irs. the editor of bloomberg news is apologizing for his reporter snooping into the restricted data of company clients. alison kosik is following this story out of new york. tell us what happened. >> reporter: well, first i want to give full disclosure, i between work at bloomberg for a short time. i never knew about this practice. i never did it. as far as the story goes, countless traders here at the

new york stock exchange have bloochlburg terminals. here is one here. traders use it, regulators use it, central bankers around the world use it and what they use it for is for basically real time market data and news. also there is an instant messaging feature on here, as well. thousands have prescriptions and they're not cheap. it costs $20,000 to have a sub skripgs a description and rent the machine. the fact that reporters spied on how some used the machines is raising a lot of privacy questions. what they could see includes the log-in history of members, help desk inquiries, how many times different programs users had access and for that winkler said the error is inexcusable, but what he did go on to say is that never did private investment information was ever accessed. winkler did go on to say, however, that at no time did

reporters have access to trading, portfolio, monitor or other related systems. nor access to clients' messages to one another, they couldn't seat clients that stories were reading or the securities clients could be looking at. he also said the newsroom will no longer have access to that data. >> so how were the reporters snooping? did they just walk by and look over someone's shoulder? how did they get caught? >> reporter: these are amazing machines that you can get a lot of data out of them. and the reporters were able to track some of the users' movements on these computers. and how did it come to light? the interesting thing is winkler in the op-ed said this is has been a common practice for a very long time way back into the 1990s. how did it come to light? a reporter was apparently interviewing a goldman sachs executive and the reporter was

asking about the log-in habits of another goldman sachs executive. so goldman spoke up about this and that's how it came to light. >> alison kosik reporting live from the new york stock exchange. thanks. o.j. simpson has spent the past four years behind bars. now he hopes to persuade a judge to grant him another trial. we'll tell you if that's possibly next. mine was earned in djibouti, africa. 2004. vietnam in 1972.

they sat down for an interview with martin savidge. why did they decide to talk? >> reporter: you know, i grew up in this town and i worked a long time in this town. and they knew me from that. and they know the work i do, they seem to like that, they said so. but that wasn't going to get them any free pass in me which is why i asked the next question that started off the second half of the interview. can you in any way know, help, assist your brother in the horrible things he's accused of doing? >> absolutely not. no idea that this horrific crime was going on. >> pedro? >> no. >> you know there are people who will say you had to know.

how is it possible for so long in that home your brother you couldn't know? >> for those people out there, i'll tell you something, i had nothing to do with this and i don't know how my brother got away with it for so many years because that would never cross my mind. >> he fooled you. >> he fooled me. because i used to go there more than he did to work on cars, clean the yard, you know, help him out and stuff. but they ever go beyond tnever . >> onil, there was nothing -- >> absolutely nothing that i can see that was unusual in the backyard. i can't say in the house because i haven't been in the house in years. >> do you worry now that people will always suspect that you actually did have a role? >> absolutely.

>> yes. >> and the people out there that know me, they know that onil castro is not that person, has nothing to do with that. >> same. i couldn't never think of do being anything like that. if i knew that my brother was doing this, i would not be -- i would not -- in a minute i would call the cops. because that ain't right. but, yeah, he's going to hunt me down because people going to think pedro got something to do with this. and pedro don't have nothing to do with this. if i knew, i would have reported brother or no brother. >> what is your brother to you now? >> monster, hateful, i hope he rots in that jail. i don't even want them to take his life like that. i want him to suffer in that

jail to the last extent. i don't care if they everyone feed him what he has done to my life and my family's. >> i feel the same way. >> to the both of you now he no longer exists. >> yeah. >> he's gone. >> he's goner. >> almost as if he were dead. >> monster's a goner. i'm glad that he left the door unlocked or whatever he did. maybe he wanted to get caught. maybe he was inside too much. but he shouldn't have went to mama's house and picked me up and put me in a car if he knew that was going to happen. >> if you could talk to gina, michelle, amanda, and in a way you are, i guess, what would you say? >> i would toell her that i'm sorry that you had to go through

this. i was thinking about these girls being missing and i'm just grateful that they're home and out of that horrible house and i just tell them that i'm sorry for withhat ariel done. because, see, i -- not much -- it's felix, i know him for long time. and when i find out that ariel had gina, i just broke, i just broke down. because it's shocking. ariel, we know this guy for a long time. felix. >> this is gina's father. >> yeah, felix dejesus. and you got his daughter and you

go around like nothing, you even went to the vigils, you had posters, you give his mama a hug and you got his daughter captive? and do what you was -- what people are saying, police or whatever? >> who does that? >> yeah. who does that. >> monsters. >> people that have no heart. they feel no heart, no feelings, dead. >> onil, the same thing? >> same thing. i just want also the families who want justice to the fullest extent, and i don't want ever to see anything like that happen to anybody in this world. i know that it's happening and we have no control over it, but

if i can do something about it, i will. i would never let anything like that happen, go on to my worst enemy. this has torn my heart apart. this has killed me. i'm a walking corpse right now. and there is god up there that knows, god is up there that knows that me and pedro are innocent on this. we didn't have the slightest idea this was going on. >> why are you talking to me? >> i wanted the world to know that i did nothing such. i am innocent. like i said, if i'd have known anything, i would not keep my mouth shut. i would have done something. because i can't believe ariel

was committing such a hateful crime for this long amount of time. acting like if nothing happened in this, you know, no worries, i wanted the world to know that onil and me, pedro, had nothing to do with this. it was a shock to me to learn that my brother ariel was doing this. >> onil, i can see that this is stressing you. i can see that this is something you're physically enduring. >> it hurts. it hurts a lot. like i said earlier, i woke up out of the nightmare last night, i want to wake up out of this one and i just can't.

i didn't want to see today. >> i want to thank you both for talking to us, for sharing with us, and opening up to us. >> thank you. and i hope the world listen to us and -- >> we want our lives back. we want back to normal. i want to -- i want this to erase out of my mind like it never happened. i don't want to know this. i don't want this to be true. like i said earlier, i want to wake up out of this nightmare. >> i want to say that i don't want to be hunted down like a dog for a crime that i did not commit. i don't want to be locked up in my house because somebody out there is going to do harm to me. i want to be free like i was.

now i feel trapped for what somebody else did. and it's a family member. that shouldn't -- they should not take it out on the family. threats of burning up the houses. killing pedro. that's not right. you already got your monster. please give us our freedom. i want the world to know this. >> thank you. thank you both. >> reporter: carol, let me be absolutely clear that these brothers are not asking for sympathy from anyone. and they're also not angry at authorities for taking them under arrest. they understand with a was happening at the time when it was happening. all they simply want to do, and for the rest of their family, is to go home and that's something they have not been able to do

ever since they were set free. >> i know they're living in hiding now along with their mother. i just one dwer, they say ariel castro is dead to them, they have no interest in having anything to do with him. i guess if it were me, i'd want to ask him why. >> reporter: yeah, i think -- i don't know. the anger right now that they feel towards their brother, what it's done to their family is first in their minds. the why maybe i suppose could come later. but the way that they seem to have shut him out, cut him off and simply said he is no longer a part of this family, i don't know if they really care about the why part. i think that they are so horrified, so humiliated as a family and so shocked by that which they didn't know and will be haunted always about, the why

is just something left unsaid for the moment. >> and maybe it doesn't really matter because there is no good explanation, right? martin savidge, thank you so much. we'll be right back. for teaching us that you can't create the future... by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history. instead of looking behind... delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investing billions... in everything from the best experiences below... to the finest comforts above. we're not simply saluting history... we're making it. how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need

o.j. simpson is fighting for his freedom once again today. the 65-year-old due in a las vegas courtroom this afternoon. paul has a look at what brought simpson to this point. >> reporter: these are the last images of o.j. simpson in public being led out of the courtroom to prison in late 2008. simpson was convicted of kidnapping and armed robbery for leading armed men into a hotel room to try to settle a dispute over sports memorabilia he wanted back. >> we were robbed at gunpoint. >> reporter: simpson was secretly recorded during the confrontation which became part of the trial testimony. simpson's new lawyers will argue their client was so horribly

represented in that kidnapping trial he deserves a new trial and freedom. >> we firmly believe he did not get a fair trial. i think that's going to bear out during the hearing. we want the judge to take a fresh look at this, what should have been presented before, what wasn't presented, what was said, what wasn't said. >> reporter: simpson is expected to take the witness stand, something he never did in the las vegas kidnapping trial or his sensational televised trial in 1995 where he was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife nicole brown simpson and her friend ronald goldman. other witnesses expected this week are retired prosecutors in the las vegas case and yale galanter, simpson's lead attorney in the kidnap trial and former ally. simpson's new lawyers will argue galanter had a conflict of interest in part because of his business dealings with the football star. simpson has been housed at the love lock correctional center in northern nevada. his lawyers call him a model

inmate. >> it's common in the prisons there to be different fashicts t don't get along with each other. and because his personality, he sometimes mediates betweenthat don't get along with each other. and because his personality, he sometimes mediates between different groups fr. >> reporter: he's hoping his new legal team springs him from prison for good. let's talk about his chances for a new trial. here to help, wendy murphy and paul callan. welcome to you both. thanks for being here. so paul, i have to ask you since you won a civil case against simpson, does it seem unreal that he'll be back in a courtroom? >> he's like a migraine headache, he keeps recurring. and he was unjustly acquitted in my opinion in the criminal trial. he was absolutely guilty of

murdering his wife and slaughtering ron goldman. we proved it in the civil trial. and the jury awarded a $35 million verdict. and he was then brought to justice finally in nevada andte years. now he's going after his own attorney to say galanter is responsible. somebody else is always responsible for o.j. simpson's misconduct. >> lawyers are calling this a hail mary motion which says to me along with what paul just said that o.j. doesn't have a chance in haitis. >> yeah, generally speaking any new trial motion filed this late, remember, he's already had his straight appeals, if you will, rejected by all the courts that he could have gone to including the supreme court. so when you file a new trial motion after you've already lost all your appeals, it almost never succeeds. what's interesting about the motion, though, is he's saying that yale galanter among the

issues he's arguing, his attorney in the vegas case didn't tell him that he was offered a plea bargain in the case. i'm very interested to know what yale is going to say because o.j.'s not only saying my lawyer was horrible, but that he didn't tell me i could have pled out to a misni ninnin ninmeaisdemeanor. if yale says he's right, it could work. >> what lawyer would say that on the stand? >> it's not going to happen. and it's a fascinating back story here because galanter hired two local las vegas attorneys who really were the lead counsel in trying the case. and o.j. is now saying that galanter was sort of orchestrating the defense mind the scenes and galanter had a financial interest in o.j. not taking the witness stand, o.j. not taking a plea in the case. and he sort of told the local attorneys what to do.

now, the local attorneys are suing galanter and galanter is suing the local attorneys in defamation action pending in florida. so you have a massive fight among the lawyers about what really went on during the nevada trial. so i think that's why this judge has said we'll have a hearing on this and o.j. is actually going to testify at the hear. at least that's what we're told. and i would assume galanter and the other attorneys will testify, as well. >> it will be interesting. paul and wendy, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> always nice being with you. let's talk about something good and fun. kind of like geeky cool. from the international space station commander. he's a rock star. chris hatfield comes home today. what he did in space.

look at that house known as that house. others are talking about putting up a memorial of some kind or a monument to indicate what happened there so people don't totally forget. i think would be hard to do in any case. but the fact of the matter is, carole, nothing is going to happen to this house in the very near future, not until all the criminal proceedings are over and done with. this is a crime scene and it must be preserved until the authorities are done with it. >> and that, of course, the neighbors will have to deal with it. thank you, susan. in a little bit, we will koun talk with councilman brian cummings who represents that district to find out what eventually will happen to this house. a tragedy in pennsylvania, six people have died after a house goes up in flames. the fire started late last night. four children among the victims. when firefighters got there, flames were shooting out of a second floor window. no word on what caused the blaze. in canada, it is being called a tsunami of ice.

dolphin salt lake a long lake, it's 35 miles long. so we have been having some really warm weather lately. the ice has been softening up, breaking up a bit. so basically, on the weekend, we got these massive strong winds from thor for theth. with understand this ice was softened up and breaking up a bit, the wind just pushed it into the shoreline. now, if you can imagine a freight train 35 miles long that hit the brick wall what will hatch is the front of the will get crushed and the cars keep pushing and pushing. so the ice in the middle of the lake kept moving. it kept pushing the ice, pushing the ice, and basically created these huge mountains of warp essentially crystals, ice crystals, chards of ice. basically, they built up these huge mountains. they kept mush pushing the mountains and pushing until it crashed into the homes and cot annuals. >> it's almost like a glacier moving and hitting your homes.

how fast do these mounds of ice crystals move? >> reporter: the official from the municipality told me the whole event once it hit the shoreline only took ten minutes. so it was really quite fast. and the witnesses i spoke to said it's interesting we use the analogy of a long freight train. they said that's what it sound like. it was this massive roar. the ice kept moving on shore and led into homes. >> we can see the damage it caused. some homes seem to be torn off their foundations. am i looking at that pick right? >> reporter: yep, that is what you are seeing there. basically, some of the houses pushed off their foundation. others stayed on their foundation the ice came through and on top of and crushed them and pushed them aside. it was like nothing i've ever seevenl it was amazing. >> you are kidding. i think that's the understatement of the year. cabe malone, thank you so much for helping us to understand. we appreciate it. >> reporter: a pleasure, carole, thank you.

1,127 bodies have been pulled from the mounds of rubble over the last 19 days. authorities believe now there is no chance now of finding any more survivors. and that makes the story of one young woman even more incredible. >> reporter: just a day after 19-year-old rushma was pulled out alive from the rubble of a mm-story building 16 days after it collapsed, doctors say she is surviving well and out of danger. rushma, a garment factory worker and a mother was able to find a gap in the rubble large enough for her to stoond and sit. but there wasn't enough room to lie down. she told rescue workers she survived by eating dry business consults -- biscuits and eating small amounts of water. >> every so often, i found bits of water. i drank it. with a lot of painful effort, i climbed down stairs using a stick to break through tiny

elp, but no one heard me. >> reporter: rescue workers did eventually hear her, though, they were looking for more bodies trapped in the rubble when they heard her feignt voice calling out for help. >> and i looked through and i saw someone calling, please save me, instan litsh i called the firefighters around arm workers and said, listen, i heard a sound. then they saw her and confirmed there was a woman. >> as workers used hand saws to try to free her from the rubble a. crowd of hundreds gathered to cheer, pray and watch the miracle unfold. rushma's family overjoyed by the urksdz rushed to be by her side. >> i am very happy she is alive. at left my grandchildren got their mother back. all my grandchildren are now overwhelmed, even amid the joy of rush ma's survival, though. >> reporter: rescue workers are now returning to the grim task of retrieveing more decomposing

bodies. more than 1,000 people were killed. officials say there is very little chance they will find any more survivors. >> an incredible story. the garment factory is raising questions about whether the garment workers in bangladesh can be improved. christy; there any chances wages could rise due to this horrible tragedy? >> reporter: there is a chance, two developments right now, one the government has formed a wage fwoord board to review whether they need a wage. in 2010, the last time it was raised. these folks make $38 a month, these garment workers. if thent% of the industry is women, many of the women say they have to borrow money before the end of the month to ec mate through. so this is one reason why the eu

trade commissioner has called this modern day slavery. it's not enough for them to survive on. they get caught in the cycle of borrowing money to make it to the end of the month and going back into the conditions. the other development we are watching here this evening in bangladesh is that because of unrest, following horrible, horrible conditions in that fablth factory collapse, they have now shut down the major garment hub because workers for several days haven't been coming to work, or they have been slapping down their card and walking away. so there are some 1,000, maybe 1,500 factories shut down now. so the workers are standing up as well. there is a lot of pressure on the government or the factory owners to raise those wages. let's really be clear here. at $38 a month, carole, that's still less than half of what a worker gets in, say, china, $138

a month. even if they doubled tease wage, they'd still be the cheapest in the world. >> and safe working conditions? they pay them nothing and then, that's just unbelievable. >> reporter: it really is. they're going up so fast, carole. there is so much demand for fast fashion. they're building these factories like crazy. there is so much demand for cheap clothes that the factories are turning out as much as they possibly can. this is the result. >> christine romans reporting live for us, thank you. it's 22 minutes past the hour. malala, the girl who survived an assassination attempt is in the states. she is promoteing education to young women in pakistan, malala's father runs the all girl institution she attended

tea party targeted. an audit about to be targeted says irs agents were singling out groups with tea party or put a patriot in their name. if true, it means they were

targeting people because of their affiliation. that would be a real no-no. dana baschuck is on capitol hill. some say this is smithsonian. >> reporter: some republicans need to be careful, okay, because we don't yet know if president obama was at all involved or knowledgeable or anyone in the white house for that matter. so that would make it 96 on nixonian. fiction first and foremost the idea that irs agents were targeting specific groups. secondly, from thor techive of people here in congress, why they didn't tell members of congress. we obtained information that gifls our viewaries time line of what we're talking about here. let start going back to march and april of 2010. we are told by our documents that we have obtained that is when, carole, irs agents started searching for political sounding names like "we the people" or "take back the country" and if august of that year, there was

beyond the lookout internal irs memo specifically september to look for groups with these groups and if you fast forward in june of 2011, that, we learned, based on information that we obtained lois lerner was first briefed on the efforts. if you fast forward again the irs commissioner doug shulman, he came to congress and denied. this tells us two things, number one, okay, they had the information and this, of course, comes from an internal audit you talked about. but i think, more importantly, for people here in congress the fact that this official, lois lerner was briefed back in 2011, why didn't she tell congress and, more importantly, the commissioner, himself, he probably testified saying that there was no targeting at all and that was simply to the the case. so those are many, many questions that members of congress want to get to the bottom of. of course, you know, tea party

groups, they tend to back republicans. this is bipartisan when it comes to the outrage in congress. >> so people understand, these tea party groups, these conservative groups were applying for a nonprofit status, right? >> reporter: that's exactly right. they were applying for nonprofit status. what these irs agents, with who started this targeting were trying to do was to determine whether or not they should get the status. what the irs says that this was a mistake, but it was simply a shortcut. it wasn't a way to target them for political reasons. there is a lot of eyebrow raising here in washington and everywhere, that that was really the case. it really was done for political reasons. we should know more when the full audit comes out sometime this week from the irs. of course, as you can imagine, carole, we are hearing from the house, ways and means committee and others that they are going to do an investigation. they are not going to tett let this go. i should at ttell you, the tea

party, i should take a spep accept back the tea parties were, they came to life. they were created by the people who are a part of them, in large part, because they are concerned about bureaucrats and the government getting too big for their britches, so to speak. so the irony and outrage about this can't be underscored enough. >> our next guest will tell us more. joining me is justin bennett thomas, a founder of the cincinnati tea party. thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> a lot of reports have been about the irs singling out conservative groups, tea party groups. you say you were personally targeted be i the irs. tell us what happened. >> sure. that's exactly right. included in one of tease letters to a group north of cincinnati. it was question number 26 that ask, describe your relationship with just teven bennett

thomas -- justin bennett thomas, clearly, that raises concerns as you pointed out briefly. >> when you heard your name was in these document, you said, what's the -- did it immediately arouse your suspicions that you were being singled out? >> yes. it absolutely did. it would be interesting to know why was i singled out? it was with a group i hasn't worked with on top of it. it was asking for a relationship with me, which was fairly vague. so my question goes to, why? what is it being collected for? why is it being stored? who is it being shared with? what is the purpose of reaching out to an individual within these larger questions, which, in themself, as the irs admitted are enappropriate. >> did you ever reach out to the irs and say, hey, why are you singling me out? >> i reached out to the advocacy group. it was a denial. they said they did not ask about people unless they are if

founding documents. the honus was on me to prove i wasn't in the founding documents or that i wasn't a part of that interest and, again, did not ge8 resolution. >> so as you sit back and think about this, what do you think the irs' intent was? >> i don't know. it would be pure speculation obvious my end, because i have been stonewalled as was congress at the time, not only my congressman with the query but also the testifying in front of congress at the time when they had asked whether or not they were targeting groups. they denied i. now, again, they've admitted it. so i don't know and i'd like to know. again, my concern is, where does this go? where was it shared? what does it mean down the line? >> what do you think should happen? >> well, i think there needs to be some systematic changes at the irs to be sure this doesn't happen again. i don't need names, of course, i'd like to know the people who initiated these changes, if,

indeed, it started with a low level person, it was certainly known within the organization very quickly and it was not addressed. so i need to know what systematic changes have occurred to make sure they don't reokwur. >> so if all these allegations are proved true, do you think ledz heads should roshlgs do you think there should be suspensions, what do you think needs to be done if these allegations are true? >> well, i'll not in imagement. the decisions in -- in management. the decisions would be heads are internal. checks and balances in place and the information gathered won't be held against the groups, frankly, me, in this situation. >> i know president obama is probably going to be questioned about the today. what do you want to hear from him? >> well, i'd love for the president to further acknowledge that this was wrong, to support to the probe, to its deepest extent and again i'd like acknowledgment from the irs or from the white house, though

it's not their direct responsibility here, that the information gathed will not be -- gathered against the groups will not be used enappropriately and used against the individuals that were called out specifically. >> justin benefit it thomas, the founder of the tea party. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. a modest home in an american city. this house may be doom to infamy. the evils that unfolded within its walls. neighbors say it should be burned down. so...how'd it go? well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning the art of dealmaking. you've mastered monkey-style kung fu? no. priceline is different now. you don't even have to bid. master hahn taught you all that? oh, and he says to say (translated from cantonese) "you still owe him five bucks." your accent needs a little work.
